Regional Capabilities

Since 2001, it has been the policy of the Capitol Region/DEMHS Region 3 to invest in the region’s capacity to work together to plan for, respond to, and recover from natural and man-made emergencies. The current “Get Ready Capitol Region” citizen preparedness initiative is one of these investments. To the extent that citizens are prepared to take care of themselves and help their neighbors in an emergency, our communities will be able to use their resources and first responders more effectively.

In addition to this campaign, CRCOG has used federal grant funding, augmented by significant in-kind donations of time and talent by stakeholders and subject matter experts, to put the following in place:

Regular CREPC meetings of stakeholders across all disciplines to improve communication and coordination.
